Kennedy Agyapong’s 10 Major Contributions To The Health Sector

The Member of Parliament for Assin Central and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer hopeful, will contest for the flagbearership slot along with three other contenders including Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr Afriyie Akoto and Addai-Nimoh.

The NPP has slated November 4, 2023, to elect a successor to president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the party.

Currently, although the New Patriotic Party (NPP) went into the Special Delegates Conference with a hope of deciding the final 5 people to go into the November 4 congress, it has been left with only 4 candidates.

The four: Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice President of Ghana; Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin Central; Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto, former Minister of Food and Agriculture; and Francis Addai-Nimoh, former MP for Ashanti Mampong; barring any more surprises, will be on the ballots for the elections of November that will decide who becomes the flagbearer of the ruling party.

That candidate will lead the NPP into the 2024 general elections as its presidential candidate.
